Hmmm...I agree Gary, some good advice...
But I can`t say that I have taken any one shot in an attempt to reproduce something I`ve seen else where - well not consciously. But maybe that`s it - we are all influenced in a sub-conscious way to some extent, but how do you then acknowledge those photographers or iconic images that influenced you??
This is getting too heavy, and my friend just called to say the surf is too good to miss, so I`m off surfing right now…sorry to cut the message short...
Have a nice evening.
